The Fort Museum — Attraction in Alberta

When I was young, we’d watch Sgt. Preston. I’ve always wanted to know more about the NWMP. The museum showed me a better understanding of the NWMP. The history of the fort and of the RCMP was fascinating and impressive. I’d always had a lot of respect of the RCMP and now even more.

The museum was very informative. There was a nice little shop with a variety of items related to the frontier and RCMP/NWMP.

The best part of the museum was the ‘Musical Ride’ performed by volunteers who do a magnificent job of showing their horsemanship. The routines are great.

I just wish I was able to film the performance. I think, should we be back in AB again, we will return...

CPF Alberta & NWT hosted a day of educational programming here at the Fort Museum. The Fort Museum provided an unforgettable day for our group, immersing participants in the fascinating history of the North West Mounted Police and the region.

Our group loved the authentic displays and interactive elements, and the atmosphere made it easy to imagine life in the fort’s early days. The museum team’s hospitality and attention to detail helped make our program a success, and we highly recommend this venue for group visits, school programs, and...

Love this fort. Planned a day trip with some people who have never been and made a day of it in the town.

normally I would give this a 4 or a 5, but I found it pretty disappointing that when we checked in, nobody told us that we wouldn't be able to go into the buildings.

being able to look in, doesn't give the tour as much justice. So even though it was still fun, it would have been nice to know what was going on before we went in.

it also seemed strange that there were 6 or 7 staff, fully masked inside, instead of stationed sporadically in the fort reminding people not to touch anything and to social distance? Just seemed like a waste...
